Excerpt:Bush and his supporters are hailing some signs
of cooperation between Iraqi Sunni tribal leaders and U.S. forces in rooting out al-Qaeda extremists
in Anbar Province as proof that Bush's military occupation of Iraq is finally working and should not be
ended by Congress.

"Finally," wrote neocon Charles Krauthammer on
July 13, "after four terribly long years, we know what works." He, like Bush, cited the Anbar example as reason
to reject growing public and congressional demands for a prompt U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq.

But the Anbar evidence could be read almost exactly
the opposite way: that it is the growing belief among Sunnis that the American occupation is nearing its end
that has caused some of them to view the U.S. military as a lesser evil and position themselves for what they perceive
as the next phase of the conflict.

"I am still not sure that I believe it: The
Iraqi parliament is going on vacation during August. The White House offers the lame excuse that,
after all, Baghdad is hot in August - sometimes 130 degrees. How much hotter do you suppose
it is if you are a wearing a helmet, full body armor, carrying ammunition and walking foot patrols
through Baghdad? The last I heard, that is how American troops are spending their August
in Iraq. For me, this does it."
-- CBS wanker Bob Schieffer, loyal Bush tool, "has had enough"Link

WOW! When you lose Bob Schieffer, you're losing
a big one, Mr Monkey.

Bob Schieffer is a top-level Bush media whore.
His brother works for the BFEE, too.
Bob has been loyal all these years, praising Der Monkey - but
now he's had enough?

Excerpt:Harry Reid is finally coming to the realization
reached months ago by the American people: That Democrats in Congress have been played for suckers by the
Bush White House and its Republican allies on Capitol Hill. The Senate majority leader's recognition of the
realities of Washington in the Bush era -- as evidenced by his decision Monday to set up a scenario that could
clarify the role played by Republican senators in maintaining the president's exceptionally unpopular approach
to the Iraq War -- holds out the prospect that the politics of the debate over ending the occupation could
change radically in the weeks to come. Make no mistake, such a shift is necessary.

Excerpt:Cardinal Roger Mahony, leader of the nation's
largest Roman Catholic archdiocese, apologized Sunday to the hundreds of people who will get a share
of a $660 million settlement over allegations of clergy sex abuse.

The deal settles all 508 cases that remained against
the archdiocese, which also paid $60 million in December to settle 45 cases that weren't covered by sexual
abuse insurance.

Sexual abuse insurance?
Why did the Catholics purchase sexual abuse insurance?
I don't have any of that because I don't plan to sexually abuse anyone
- but they bought some?

The Los Angeles archdiocese have paid more than
$114 million to settle 86 claims so far.Several religious orders in California have also
reached multimillion-dollar settlements in recent months.

Why apologize for something you intend to do again and again?
In 2010, Mahoney will express more shock and outrage when he writes
more checks.
The truth is, if they expelled every priest with a sex crimes in their
past they'd have to close up.

Another
reason to buy!The credit card company charges me $60 a month.We have to sell a lot of shirts & magnets just to break
evenand business hasn't been that great, so I need to sell
more stufforstop taking credit cards, which making purchases harder for you.

Excerpt:Bush says that he should be trusted on military
issues because he listens to his commanders. But he has a tendency to celebrate his generals
when they're providing him political cover -- then stick a knife in their backs when they're
no longer of any use to him.

And when virtually all of Bush military line of
command, including the entire
Joint Chiefs of Staff, opposed his "surge" proposal late last year,
Bush responded not by listening, but by removing
thetop
two commanders responsible for Iraq and replacing them with more
amenable leaders, including Army Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus.

I'm not sure which BartCop editor writes the page
about the JFK assassination -- but here's something you'll like.

Salon's former editor-in-chief interviewed 150
former officials of John F. Kennedy's administration. They described Kennedy as "beseiged" by hostile
anti-Soviet warriors in the CIA and military who felt betrayed after the Bay of Pigs, as well as by
Kennedy's optimistic backchannel diplomacy.

It gives an amazing new context to the author's
other new revelation. For the rest of his life, Robert Kennedy always
believed his brother had been killed by the CIA.

Excerpt:Being without health insurance is no big deal.
Just ask Bush. "People have access to health care in America,"he said last week. "After all, you just go to
an emergency room."

This is what you might call callousness with consequences.
The White House has announced that Bush will veto a bipartisan plan that would extend health insurance,
and with it such essentials as regular checkups and preventive medical care, to an estimated 4.1 million currently
uninsured children. After all, it's not as if those kids really need insurance - they can just go to emergency rooms,
right?

O.K., it's not news that Mr. Bush has no empathy
for people less fortunate than himself. But his willful ignorance here is part of a larger picture:
The claim that the uninsured can get all the care they need in emergency
rooms is just the beginning. Beyond that is the myth that
Americans who are lucky enough to have insurance never face long waits for medical care.

Richard Armitage divulged Plame's identity but
he wasn't charged with commiting a crime.You would post this letter if you were not more
interested in deceiving your readers. Carson slaps Bart with banana.

I don't know why Armitage wasn't charged - neither was Novak, who first
revealed it.
Maybe the little fish got immunity to get the big fish, but Libby fell
on the sword?
If everyone in the White House agreed Libby was guilty, what option
did Fitz have?

What would we know about the truth if Libby hadn't lied and obstructed
justice?

If the fix is in, Libby had a guarantee.
If they committed no crimes, why did they lie under oath?

In the LA priest sex controversy, you emphasized
and REemphasized and then again, the molestation of "little boys."Bart, creeps are creeps, and the Mahony batch
did not discriminate on the basis of a child's sex. They were anequal opportunity bunch of child rapists, assaulting
both male and female children. That is a common misperception,that priests only molest young male parishoners.
Not true. Some of these slug slime kept little girls in a terrified
stateof virtual sex slavery from childhood through
their teens. The Catholic Church is as rotten as the Republican Party.

I get that, but raping the littrle boys seems
creepier than raping the little girls,and I'm trying to get catholic financial enablers
to reconsider their donations,so highlighting the creepy man-on-boy thing may
be more effective.

How creepy, that the Catholic priest sexual predators
force us to makethe distinction between raping little boys and
raping little girls.

Aside from the georgeous new Calatrava cathedral
downtown, I see no reason the Los Angeles Archdioceseshould not have to forfeit ALL property and get
a loan from Rome and turn that and more over to peoplewhose lives they've devestated. Then the
whole lot should be sent to prison where they'll be treated withthe consideration they deserve as 'short eyes.'
Mahony should be the first to hear the doors clang shutbehind him while he stares into the faces of
his new 'friends.'

Now I'm gonna try and breathe and chill.Just wanted to address the gender oversight.

Stay well, Bart'Alvin in el Lay

Alvin, you're cool with me.
And isn't it funny that the feds are using force to shut down Cali-legal
medical marijuana clubs
while these baby-rapists are allowed to pay a fine for their serial
child rape organzied crime felonies?

Excerpt:Cardinal Mahoney announced that to help pay for
the deal, the church would sell a building it owns on Wilshire and about 50 other properties they weren't using,
which reminded me, oh yeah, the Catholic Church owns more property out here than Bob Hope did because
it's a business -- and not just a business,
really, the greatest business in the world, in that, like all religions,
it's selling an invisible product.

The total payouts for abuse cases in dioceses
all over America is now over $2 billion, and I imagine much of it came from people who went to Church and bought
the invisible product by dropping their hard earned money into the basket. I wonder what those people
think when they see that their money got spent on buying the privilege of touching and fucking kids.

Little doubt they got him. They just avoided
the plane going down in a field. As Wayne Madsen said at the time Aspen's laws
about autopsy information are more secretive than papal elections. Chris D. from NJ

I'm not familiar with Aspen's autopsy laws.Maybe they lured him there so they could take
advantage of those laws.

I wonder - did they use the same discredited doctor
for the autopsy that Jeb used to cover up the strange, bloody and sudden death
of Joe Scarborough's intern?

Excerpt:David Beckham was limited to some stretching
and kicking drills because of a lingering ankle injury in his first practice Monday since joining the Los Angeles
Galaxy. He is scheduled to make his playing debut Saturday in an exhibition against Chelsea, but
Galaxy coach Frank Yallop said the superstar is day-to-day.

We watched his wife's TV special last night. As PR goes, it was a PR
home run. She looked great
and spent the hour poking fun of herself and talking about how great
is was to be living in America.
